Playing a clip of the speech by Iran's Supreme Leader, CNN is criticized by the White House

Reference News Network, March 13 report: According to the Associated Press, on March 12, the Trump administration condemned CNN for broadcasting clips of the newly appointed supreme leader of Iran's public statement. This is the second time in three days that Trump has criticized CNN's coverage of how the Iranian regime is responding to the US attack.

This incident shows that the news media must be cautious when reporting during wartime, and also indicates that American journalists have a responsibility to report the views of countries that the US government considers enemies. It also reveals the existing contradictions. The first public statement by the Supreme Leader of Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei, was widely disseminated around the world as well.

The report said that the White House stated on social media: "CNN just played four uninterrupted minutes of footage from the Iranian state television, which is operated by a mad and brutal regime."

Two days earlier, the White House Communications Director raised objections to CNN host Erin Burnett's interview with former Iranian nuclear negotiator Hussein Mousavian.

CNN responded to the White House's criticism on March 12. It pointed out that CNN, Sky News, and Al Jazeera all broadcast clips of Mojtaba's speech. (Translated by Lu Di)
